Summary of the contracting process

Crichton Carbon Centre is seeking a contractor for the proposed restoration of 522 hectares of peatland at North Sanquhar Moor, Phase 4, in southwest Scotland. This is an environmental restoration services requirement, covering peatland restoration rather than the supply of goods or construction works. The procurement is undertaken through NatureScot Peatland ACTION’s procurement arrangements, using external project partners on behalf of the landowner applicant. The work will be delivered at North Sanquhar Moor in southwest Scotland. The opportunity is relevant to environmental contractors and land-management specialists whose core work includes restoring degraded peatland and delivering nature-based land projects. It may also suit organisations able to coordinate substantial site-based restoration work with a landowner and public-sector project partners.

The process reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. There is one lot. Bids were due by 28 August 2026 at 12:00. The contract period is scheduled to run from 1 September 2027 to 21 February 2028. The award period is scheduled to start on 21 February 2028 at 12:00, when bids are also due to be opened. The procurement is for services and is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. Bids must be submitted in English, and variants are not allowed. The contract is not intended to include renewal or additional options. The stated evaluation basis is the tender requirements and supporting procurement documents.

This opportunity suits specialist peatland restoration contractors, environmental land-management businesses and ecological project providers with the practical capability to plan and deliver restoration across a substantial rural site. Relevant suppliers are likely to be those experienced in peatland works, site assessment, restoration techniques, access and logistics, and coordinating delivery with landowners and project partners. The scale makes it more suitable for businesses with established field teams, appropriate plant or access to it, and the capacity to manage sustained site operations rather than small, occasional conservation projects. Contractors may also consider partnerships or subcontracting arrangements where they can combine peatland expertise, rural works capacity and project management for delivery in southwest Scotland.
